The EPM has been developed to work in conjunction with the

The illustration on Page 57 shows a typical application.

The EPM is an intelligent module that contains a pressure transducer, analogue to digital converter, and the necessary calibration data
stored during EPM calibration.

During operation, the EPM sends pressure and temperature related information digitally to the PC6-IDOS, which acts as an intelligent
terminal.

The EPM or the PC6-IDOS internal pressure sensor can be selected during calibration using the calibrator menu system.

PC6-IDOS Pressure Calibrator to provide additional pressure ranges

without incurring the full cost of extra calibrators.

For the safe connection and operation of the EPM, refer to the EPM user manual (document K380).

For a full specification and a list of the available pressure ranges, refer to the

datasheet.
